DESI EM PROJECT - EPISODE 142 - THE ONE WITH "MASTERCLASS WITH DR MALCOLM KENDRICK"
Description
Dr Malcolm Kendrick graduated from Aberdeen University and trained as a General Practitioner. He has worked in the NHS for forty years. He has been fascinated by cardiovascular disease since his time as a medical student.
At that time, Scotland had the highest rate of heart disease in the world. He came to realise that ‘cholesterol’ hypothesis was not correct. He has written several papers in this area and three books. The Great Cholesterol Con, A Statin Nation, and The Clot Thickens – which is an attempt to explain what actually does cause heart disease.
He has also written about how data are manipulated in many scientific studies, writing the book Doctoring Data. He has a blog drmalcolmkendrick.org, which is free to read. He loves sports and sorting out the world’s problems in the pub.
